SEAT ATTACHIEENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. ,26, 1909.

Application filed- Hay 19, 1908. Serial No. 433,734.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY HERMAN SoHoT'r, a citizen of the United States, re-

siding at North Yakima, in the county of Yakima and State of Washington, have 1nvented new and useful Im rovements in Seat Attachments, of which t e following is a specification. 7

My invention ertains to seat attachor its object to provide a sim lo and ineX ensive device designed to be ed on the ack of a theater or church seat and to hold articles of various descriptions.

The invention will be fully understood from the following description and claim when the same are read in connection with the drawings, accompanying and forming part of this specification, in which: I Figure 1 is a erspective view illustrating the device constituting the referred embodiment of my invention. ig. 2 is a view showin a seat back in section and my novel device in proper position thereon.

Referring by letter to the said drawings, A is the back of a church or other seat, and B is m novel device which is designed to be fixe on the rear side of the back A by screws (1, after the mannershown in Fig. 2. The device B is preferably, though not neces sarily, formed of a single piece of finelytempered spring steel, and comprises an intermediate, flat body po.tion b in which are apertures c for the passa e of the screws 0, outwardly bowed arms 3 reaching upward from the ends of the body tongue e reaching downwar from the body and having an outwardly bowed u per portion f and a hook g at the lower en thereof.

It will be manifest from the foregoing that when the device is attached to a seat back, as shown in Fig. 2, cards and other articles,

portion b, and a.

'umbrellas for instance, may be interposed between the seat back and the arms (1 to be clamped and held by the latter. It will also be manifest that the brim of a stiff hat may be interposed between the outwardl bowed portion f of the tongue e to enable t e tongue to sup ort the hat, while articles of various kin s may be conveniently hung on the hook g.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that my novel seat attachment is simple and 1nexpensive and is adapted to be ex editiously and easily connecte to the bac of a seat without the employment of skilled labor and without the employment of any tool other than an ordinary screw driver.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:

As a new article of manufacture, a device formed of a single piece of resilient sheet metal and consisting essentially of a horizontal, fiat body portion in which are a plurality of apertures for the passage of screws, outwardly bowed arms reaching upwardly from the ends of the body'portion and adapted to bear ad'acent to their upper ends against a seat bac and terminating at said ends in outwardly directed ortions, and a tongue depending from the ody ortion and having an outwardl bowed portion and also havin a hook at tlie lower end of said ortion, a apted to bear against the seat ack and support articles of various kinds.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HENRY HERMAN ,SCHOTT.
